Deep Dish Caramel Snickers Cookies

There are certain things a person can say or do that immediately let me know I could never really be friends with them.

I mean, I'm sure I could get along with them at work or discuss the weather with them in an elevator. And I probably wouldn't mind if they were my neighbor or my hairstylist or my barista.

But a relationship with any more depth than that? Just wouldn't work out.

I know... it seems harsh. But I really don't think it's possible for me to truly bond with someone who doesn't share my core values and beliefs. In case you're wondering, this pretty much rules out anyone who...

uses the phrase "don'tcha know?" and isn't trying to be funny.

waits in line at an ATM and doesn't prepare their transaction until it's their turn.

1. In a small saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Heat until boiling, then simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Watch the mixture carefully--sugar can scorch quickly!

2. Transfer the butter-sugar mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Once the mixture is cooled, whisk in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the salt, flour, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir just until combined. Stir in the chopped Snickers.

3. Chill the cookie dough for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a whoopie pie pan with nonstick spray. Line each cavity with a parchment paper circle.

4. Scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough into each cavity of the pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the centers are almost set. Cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

No doubt these cookies are a delicious mouthful! I mean who would not want any cookie that was "deep dish"? Outside of that, an all time favorite candy bar has been incorporated-yum! Your pictures here are so enticing, I am sure these disappeared quickly at your house. A great one for the cookie jar! Happy Monday!

Well first of all I'd like to say you have already ruled me out of the bond's list several times. Sorry we can never be friends... lol

You said you don't photograph really well but those pictures look really good. And the cookies were delicious indeed. Thanks for bringing goodies to work. I enjoy them! (as long as there's no cinnamon :p )

Oh wow, what a beautiful peace offering!But! I have to say that if you never watched Wild at heart, Raising Arizona or even Kick-ass, you can't say such a thing about monsieur Cage. I mean:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEz-cwJxtu8

I haven't seen the first two you mentioned, but I did see Kick-Ass, which I guess wasn't SO terrible... And while I'm backtracking, I'll also admit that It Could Happen to You is one of my favorite movies :)

I really want to make these for a cookie competition, so I'm wondering how nice they are. I don't mean to offend you, I am sure they taste lovely, but would you say these cookies are 'up there' and are the best you have EVER tasted, they looks so yummy though, ''dontcha think?'' ;) Thanks!
